Bark – v2

A living Ansel Adams tableau

white birches stretching heavenward

over a winter scene of white on white

A monochromatic world too bright

for my eyes behind the photo-gray lenses

the black of the bark outlines edges.

Differences in the still wood

curls and sheets on the ground too

give depth and form, to add dimension.

Planes of space, layers

the image on the emulsion

preserved in my memory.
